Real food for real life.
You know, me and my wraps. Falafel vegetables wrap this time, a big handful of greens, whatever crunchy veg needs using up, rolled into something that takes fifteen minutes and tastes like way more effort went in. If there’s a quick way to turn “not much in the fridge” into […]
When I first tried these vegetable fajitas, I was blown away. Seriously, the combination of these flavours just works! They’re based on a Marley Spoon dish from more then ten years ago, and I still make them. Sometimes they just stick. The sweet potato and red onion get lovely and […]
Sometimes less is really more. The most simple easy broccoli soup imaginable. Makes you appreciate the little things, appreciate the taste of just 1 product, the broccoli. Side note, one of the most nutritious vegetables out there. High in vitamine C & K, rich in fiber, antioxidant (molecules that shield […]
A colourful lentil salad with roasted sweet potato, green asparagus, avocado, tomatoes and crunchy cashews, finished with a simple honey mustard dressing. Fresh, nourishing and perfect for days when you want something healthy that still feels comforting.
Easy fluffy vegetable omelette with spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes, perfect for using leftover vegetables and making a quick healthy meal.
Soto Ayam is one of those soups that feels like a complete meal in a bowl. Chicken, egg, potatoes, vegetables, rice, a little sambal and plenty of crispy onions. This is my quick version, using ready-made Soto Ayam boemboe rather than making the spice paste from scratch. Want to make […]
Even though it is summer here, sometimes I just feel like a warm nurturing dish. Something that warms my body, gives my face a glow and, as a bonus, is full of all the right nutrients.
A warm salmon poke bowl with brown rice, crisp vegetables, avocado, edamame and a punchy miso marinade. Topped with sesame, spring onion and either crispy salmon skin or nori, it’s fresh, satisfying and easy to make for lunch or dinner. Bam! Switching all my carbs to wholegrain/wholewheat, so wanted to […]
Inspired by one of my favourite restaurants in Amsterdam North, Pllek. This special place really is a little gem. Built from old shipping containers, with a huge glass front overlooking the IJ, a little city beach and that raw NDSM feeling around it, it somehow feels like you’ve escaped Amsterdam […]
Never ever made this before, but now Im a fan. Such a good thing to have in the fridge and add to salads, or Indonesian food or something. You can make it with all kinds of veggies ofcourse, but this simple version is with cauliflower and carrot.
Hello you, My name is Peggy and this is a place where I share recipes, life hazards, philosophical mind spinsels and everything somehow wrapped in a coat of food. Because I find that food talks life. I love dishes that are quick, nourishing, pretty, made with love and sometimes a little bit messy. Real food for real life.
